Wait until your health insurer start using your shopping cart to check if you are eating enough vegetable 😄 No thanks! I like to shop in peace. Can't have big brother following me around 😄
what if they overcharged us on certain items. Even with self- checkout, I always get the wrong prices. I always end up back at customer service and fight for those charges. which takes me even more time to be in a supermarket. No thanks.
Paying for groceries on that cart is identity theft waiting to happen. Do they have people standing around to help you when there are issues like there always are with self-checkout? And sometimes we just have to ask ourselves, is this really necessary? What does it contribute to our lives? Aren’t we already inundated with technology on everything? Sometimes I just want to get away from it. This is definitely for the benefit of the company that created it and the grocery stores that bought into it. I just don’t see it improving one hour of my life in any way.
Good morning. This is just another way to take humanity out of everything! Stores market this as “ It’s a time saver, you’re too busy” self bagging, self checking, self-pay all because we’re too busy. I’m so old I remember when you would go to the grocery store someone rang up your groceries bagged them and then you drove up in your vehicle and someone actually put them in your vehicle. That was a free service . Now it’s called Instacart or whatever. I refuse to self beg unless I choose to, and I never go to the self checkout because that used to be someone’s job. If you want to bag your groceries and check yourself out that’s your business. I just am curious as to how many people actually remember or even knew that used to be a free service. Perfect timing when the other video I saw today was about personalized nutrition on this channel. Everything is going to be personalized, but you they people out of the picture.
AI is being heavily forced on us. Also, it starts with something that looks cool that will evolve into something that takes your jobs. But hey, technology, right?
Most stores have an app that you can use to find items... They should just add an option where they show you a map of where the items in your shopping list are located...
I like the idea of it, but theres potential of abuse. First off, what about cashiers, does it take away their jobs? Is there staff to help you, if something goes wrong? Does the cart subtract the item, if its taken out of the cart? What about theft? Can someone hack these computers and get other peoples financial information? If the cart is stolen, does it shut off automatically? Will this raise food prices to pay for these carts? Im thinking yes it will. Sometimes something that seems like a good idea, can turn out to be a bad idea.
This is nice and all, but my biggest demand as a customer is this: Get more smaller and mini shopping carts in grocery stores! How and why don't stores everywhere EVER have enough of them?! LOL And also, that fact at the end, "around two million shopping carts are stolen every year." My question is this: cart thieves, what are you going to use them for? Like do you actually want these things in your homes? 😂🤣
Aren’t no one talk about if you put something in the cart then don’t want it and put them back. Then you will have to do an extra step to remove so you don’t get over charge
This NO computers are takin over n taken ppls jobs...like irather have ppl NOT comp...(comp can be stupid)...ppl do need2 work to get money its NOT free...
Oh no what will I ever do Not getting attitude from 90% of cashiers nowadays or don't even acknowledge my existence,while spending my money at the store that pays their hourly wage The trauma.
I have a Kroger in my town that I usually shop at. But when I’m in a neighboring bigger town I sometimes stop at the Kroger there and always have a hard time finding things. It’s not everything I can’t find, usually it’s just one or two items that are difficult to find. So I’d like the feature. I hope Kroger and Aldi gets this technology. Also means I can skip lines when checking out.
Geez, if we're too lazy to search aisles for food and have to rely on AI shopping carts while putting more cashiers out of work, we deserve to be enslaved.
The isolation argument is BS, since those aren't real interactions anyways. Americans have just been fooled that they are honest interactions, but in reality they are just business exchanges. If people don't want to be isolated then they join clubs and have hobbies so that they can interact with other people who share their interests. Making small talk with a cashier is just fakery.
I disagree on that part. Removing the items from your cart to scan and then put them back in your cart vs scanning when you place the item in cart then paying and taking directly to your car will save some time. Might only be 10 minutes though.
@Beitoven11 You are right. Self check-out machines are much slower. The new Toshiba machines, used in CVS, Albertson's etc have a screen that pivots so the store can change into "cashier mode" because having a human is faster than the machines. And if you are ever in CVS and see an employee feeding dollar bills into the machines, it is because they cannot properly count money so to reconcile the till, they take out some dollar bills and feed them one at a time so the cash count is right.
Hmm idk I actually think the old ones look better than the big ones they have now. Also dont think the new ones will scan everything especially when the price depends on the weight of the product or if you change your mind and wanna put it back
So much for paying cashiers/baggers. Then, the shelf-stocking robots (a la Amazon) will proliferate.... When they go humanoid, we'll be in Will Smith's "I, Robot"... "How may I be of service?"
Yes, I used a cart like this in an Amazon Go grocery store 4 or 5 years ago. Some small differences, but the same general idea. I didn't find it to be a huge advantage, but it was interesting.
The shopping carts in this story are overly complex and an unnecessary gimmick. A few years ago I was frequently using the self checkout at my local supermarket with my own shopping bags. However, on multiple trips I received errors that I wasn't properly bagging my items... requiring a manager to override the system several times. Self checkouts at Walmart (the only option) seem to work fine with no problem.
About time. These should be everywhere. Don’t know how weather resistant they are. I still want to take the cart to my car & return it outside. It’ll be more an inconvenience to go back inside to return this digicart
A shopping cart once cost a store $500.00. What is this thing going to cost and how will that additional cost impact prices? Also, does it double scan things you pick up to move in order to make room for heavier items?
This isn't a new thing. I saw this on a History Channel show about grocery stores, years ago. I think it was Modern Marvels. They had a Shoprite store in New Jersey that had a prototype of these carts. It had a GPS type system that monitors where the cart is in the store and the screen tells you where items are. And you scan them as you place them in the cart. They said they were also going to have a thing that scans your whole cart at the door as you walk out, and automatically bills your debit or credit card. But I don't know if they actually did that part. I thought it would've taken off in Shoprite stores by now, if it was going to be a thing, but as far as I know, it didn't. They showed Shoprite carts at the beginning of this video, but they only talked about Price Chopper. Do any Shoprite stores have these carts now?
They have these at the Amazon Fresh store near me. Or something like them. They are massive and heavy and hard to push around (battery and scale plus they're just huge). I always opt for the tiny carts. The automated ones you don't even have to put a card in for... if you have your Amazon account linked. I just use the self-checkout (there is also a human to check you out if you'd rather).
Just take a tablet with a store app. I wear my large Android smartphone on a rotatable/detachable wristband to the store to ask the app for aisle locations and scan barcodes for prices (produce gets weighed up front, either by a human cashier or self-checkout). Just put a mount with an auxiliary USB power pack on the cart (bring your own damned cable)...
They still will get lost and, bug someone working asking where something is . People don’t look up and, read signs anymore let’s be real . I have seen customers bother workers at a supermarket asking where the bathroom is when it is right under their nose and, the big sign Restrooms 😂.
They sale the idea that you are doing an easy purchase process, at your time with no fuzz when in reality the benefit is not for you but for the company not requiring employees no do that task, you are working on that task for free. The idea is to make you think it’s for your benefit only.
I know some stores have the hand handle check out /price guns. Then they put the item in the bag. When it's time to check out. The place the hand handle price scan gun on the machine and quickly check out with just paying. So, which one do you prefer. The cart or the hand handle check our gun.
Company: "This smart shopping cart has GPS for theft prevention and helps you shop efficiently!" Investors: "..." Company: "It has AI" Investors: "HERES ALL MY SAVINGS"
And they’ll still treat you like a criminal with “random” checks when you pay. We’ve been down this road. These systems don’t work. They break easily, and lose connection causing a system error where you can’t check out and have to start over. Then they disappear because nobody wants to pay for the maintenance.
Oh for pity's sake! I just bought a used car with something like this in it. I will never use it, but It comes on every time I start it up. I'm going to see if I can just pull the fuse without screwing anything else up. Otherwise I am going to cover it with black Gorilla Tape. There's also a bright little red light on my rear view mirror that tells me what direction I'm going in. Well, I live on an island with a 30 mile long road with the downtown area at about the halfway point. I live at one end of it. I drive in two directions--to town, and back home. I've already slapped some black tape over it. It's distracting.
Personally I like the idea,when I go to stores that don't have self-checkout and greeted by someone with attitude I remember why I like the self-checkout so much.
We love using the smart carts at Amazon Fresh stores. I wish Walmart would implement these because the paying process can take forever if you have a cart full of stuff.
Respectful Greetings! To: CBS Sunday Morning. It is a very interesting video to watch about the innovation of the Shopping Cart. Courteously! Luis Lopes
This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen all day. 👍 Another way to track consumer movement, purchases, time, brand loyalty. Only benefits the retailer no matter how these guys spin it. ✅
I dont think they will ever be mainstream. From a psychological perspective knowing how much everything costs as you go and shop will tend to buy less goods/cheaper items and hurt the grocery stores profits. Only if this is super easy and skips checkout times signifcantly could I see this working to incentivize people who value their time more

This will never catch on. Grocery stores don't want you to shop efficiently. They want you to wander around and buy more stuff.
Actually the tablet on the carts takes the place of that, it brings the wandering virtually with ads, special deal pop-ups, recommended products you didn't know you needed, incentives, etc.
This is about data collection not consumer satisfaction
GPS might be optional.

I know some stores have the hand handle check out /price guns. Then they put the item in the bag. When it's time to check out. The place the hand handle price scan gun on the machine and quickly check out with just paying. So, which one do you prefer. The cart or the hand handle check our gun.

Groceries are too expensive, this is no way to fix the issue!
I rather take it slow and explore.

And they’ll still treat you like a criminal with “random” checks when you pay. We’ve been down this road. These systems don’t work. They break easily, and lose connection causing a system error where you can’t check out and have to start over. Then they disappear because nobody wants to pay for the maintenance.
It’s so awsome to see screens on shopping carts. Love it. ❤ no more waiting on lines it will make people lives a lot of easier and faster.
You wont feel this way when your bank card is hacked and your health insurance knows what you buy at the store.
Amazon started with that technology in their “Go Fresh” grocery stores
I think about the cashier and how they need their job and I skip the self checkout and these carts.
that is very thoughtful of you
Yeah let's lose more jobs to computers 😢
Lol those carts won’t last more than a year 😂
Already have so far
No. Just like the self check-out lanes….NO!
Oh for pity's sake! I just bought a used car with something like this in it. I will never use it, but It comes on every time I start it up. I'm going to see if I can just pull the fuse without screwing anything else up. Otherwise I am going to cover it with black Gorilla Tape. There's also a bright little red light on my rear view mirror that tells me what direction I'm going in. Well, I live on an island with a 30 mile long road with the downtown area at about the halfway point. I live at one end of it. I drive in two directions--to town, and back home. I've already slapped some black tape over it. It's distracting.
Dumbing down of society and using more external energy.
Homeless people are gonna love these!!
Since I'm an honest shopper who doesn't steal I love this. I don't have to use my phone....yahoo.
use phone for what?
Scan and Pay apps. Hate them. Leave my phone out of it. Yep old school.
I thought maybe self-checkout would eliminate all cashier and bagger jobs at grocery stores; this definitely will.
Personally I like the idea,when I go to stores that don't have self-checkout and greeted by someone with attitude I remember why I like the self-checkout so much.
No more cashier jobs 😢
We love using the smart carts at Amazon Fresh stores. I wish Walmart would implement these because the paying process can take forever if you have a cart full of stuff.

It is a very interesting video to watch about the innovation of the Shopping Cart.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen all day. 👍
Another way to track consumer movement, purchases, time, brand loyalty.
Only benefits the retailer no matter how these guys spin it. ✅
Yes 🙌 yes 👍 yes 👏 when is it coming to a store near me? Nebraska is one state away from KC! Let’s Go!
Sometimes the best part of shopping for food is completing your task w/o having to talk to anyone, I'm all for this.
I dont think they will ever be mainstream. From a psychological perspective knowing how much everything costs as you go and shop will tend to buy less goods/cheaper items and hurt the grocery stores profits. Only if this is super easy and skips checkout times signifcantly could I see this working to incentivize people who value their time more
No thanks...
This could also create a new issue with theft. All of these card readers… people could skim people’s cards!
